Former NFL QB Jeff Garcia, who served as a quarterbacks coach this season for the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, wants to coach in the NFL. Should he leave Montreal, he would likely serve for now as an independent QB coach, and Garcia has expressed a desire to work with San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick.

New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez is working with former NFL QB Jeff Garcia this offseason. Garcia played in San Francisco and Philadelphia for Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and is teaching the Jets QB the west coast offense. "He's doing an excellent job -- the progress Mark has made over the past three weeks is definitely very positive,'' Garcia said. "It shows Mark is committed to bettering himself and getting himself more mentally prepared."

New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez called former NFL QB Jeff Garcia this week to get a head start on the West Coast offensive scheme of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. Sanchez and Garcia hope to meet in Southern California in the coming weeks for some classroom and on-field work. Mornhinweg was Garcia's offensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles. In 2000, Garcia threw for a career-high 4,278 yards and 31 touchdowns under Mornhinweg.

Free-agent QB Jeff Garcia (Texans) said he would join the Philadelphia Eagles in a heartbeat if head coach Andy Reid gave him a call. In fact, Garcia added he would pay the Eagles to join them. "I'm picking up the phone and saying, 'Andy, how much do you want me to pay you so I can come in and get things fired up around there?'" Garcia said. "I'd pay to play, that's just me. I can be that person who can continue to motivate and inspire and help teach and educate. And if given the opportunity to step on the field, I'm going to give everything I have to find success, no matter how it happens."
